In this article

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a service that facilitates messaging
between mobile apps and server applications. FCM is Google's successor
to Google Cloud Messaging. This article provides an overview of how FCM
works, and it provides a step-by-step procedure for acquiring
credentials so that your app can use FCM services.

This walkthrough provides a step-by-step explanation of how to use
Firebase Cloud Messaging to implement remote notifications (also called
push notifications) in a Xamarin.Android application. It illustrates
how to implement the various classes that are needed for communications
with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), provides examples of how to
configure the Android Manifest for access to FCM, and demonstrates
downstream messaging using the Firebase Console.

This section provides a high-level overview of how Google Cloud
Messaging (GCM) routes messages between your app and an app server, and
it provides a step-by-step procedure for acquiring credentials so that
your app can use GCM services. (Note that GCM has been superceded
by FCM.)
